This charming little cake shop on White Street is all about cupcakes and shabby chic.
And of course they do Key lime pie:
The verdict: A perfectly respectable specimen. Crumb thin and without a trace of sogginess, the filling was light with a satisfying mouth feel, albeit just a tad too tart for me to reach cakegasm. Loved the fluorescent faux lime slice perched on top, gobbled that up with gusto 🙂
My rating: 4 out of 5.
Vicky had this little guava cream tart. Very pretty, but waaaaay to sickly sweet.

I think I am going on lime overdose, arent you? 🙂
The cupcakes look good tho. Did you have any?

No, I couldn’t manage two cakes… especially as I’d had ice cream just before 😉

Hog 😉 Everything there looks so cheery and colourful and just downright perfect! Is their English alright? Do you think they could benefit from a teacher? Or is it possible to make a living just from writing Key Lime Pie reviews!?

I think you may have a market here. 90% of Americans do not understand standard British English. This is what happened a couple of days ago at the chocolate stall (where else) at a local arts/crafts/farmers’ market:
Me: You got any good stuff?
Her: What?
Me (really slowly): You. Got. Any. Good. Stuff?
Her: Where are you from?
Me: I’m German.
Her (pointing to man standing beside her): My husband speaks German, in case you have a language problem.

It’s really frustrating having to say everything twice. My friend Vicky doesn’t even seem to notice anymore that she’s doing it, she’s on autopilot.

True 😉 I didn’t think there would be so many issues with British English – I never have any problems understanding Americans! I guess we’re exposed to American English more than the other way around though!

That’s certainly true. And it’s not usually an issue with educated, cosmopolitan people.

Would you believe that we got through on the phone?!? A few co-workers and I placed our order for 6 cronuts. We were on a waiting list for 2 weeks. But then the big day came. The flavor was rum caramel. (Wait, I’m re-living the experience right now) It was light and flakey. The filling was creamy but not overpowering. We all agreed it was much better than the knock-off!
